If you have been in higher education during the last two years you should provide an academic referee from someone who has actively taught you on your most recent course of study. If your date of graduation was more than two academic years ago, you may provide a reference from your current or most recent employment and should be from someone who has acted as your line-manager / supervisor (or similar role).
Your reference will not form a central part of the selection process, but will be considered before we make you an offer.

Your UCAS personal statement will be checked for plagiarism but its content will not be considered in our admissions process.
